A Hidden Ancient Temple! A Zen Secret Beyond the Four Great Grottoes!✨ 
📍Address: Houchuan, Xianren Cliff, Southeast Maiji District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province 
🚗Travel Tips: Drive and navigate to "Jingtu Temple"; about 40 minutes by taxi from downtown Tianshui; take the Maijishan Tourist Line bus to Xianren Cliff Station, then walk 20 minutes uphill (wear non-slip shoes on rainy days) 
🌧️Real Experience: 
The ancient temple in the rain and mist is breathtakingly beautiful! The green-tiled eaves drip with water droplets, century-old trees hang red silk ribbons, and the incense mixed with the smell of earth makes the Zen atmosphere even stronger. Catching a glimpse of a monk sweeping the floor instantly feels like stepping into a martial arts movie scene~ 
📿Must-Visit Spots: 
1️⃣ Blessing in front of the Mahavira Hall: The thousand-year-old ginkgo tree’s red silk ribbons flutter, and the light and shadow through the leaves on rainy days are stunning 
2️⃣ Corner corridor of the Sutra Library: Wooden window lattices + distant misty mountains, perfect for Hanfu photos with an ink wash filter effect 
⚠️Tips to Avoid Trouble: 
• Steps are slippery when wet; choose the stone slab path at the side gate for a safer route to worship 
• No convenience stores inside the temple; bring your own drinking water (free incense available next to the donation box)
